# Donnie Druin: Druin expects the Cardinals to be sellers at the deadline, suggesting Josh Sweat and Jacoby Brissett could be traded away. **Claimed:** Nov 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Donnie Druin — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/donnie-druin **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/cardinals/onsi/insider-sets-record-straight-arizona-cardinals-budda-baker-trade-noise 2 checkable claims — 2 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > Arizona could also see faces such as Josh Sweat and Jacoby Brissett dealt as well. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jacoby Brissett to move — “could be dealt”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Jacoby Brissett - Verdict: not settled yet - **Josh Sweat to move — “could be dealt”** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Josh Sweat - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Jacoby Brissett — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jacoby-brissett - Josh Sweat — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/josh-sweat ## What others said about the same people - Albert Breer on Jacoby Brissett: Breer argues the Jaguars should be taken very seriously, seeing a path to 13 wins and the AFC's No. 1 seed with a first-round bye, and he expects the Jacoby Brissett trade to Baltimore to be completed within a day. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c51d9762-3ca3-4143-9372-bf508348053f (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Jacoby Brissett: In a Week 9 recap, Jahnke expects Mark Andrews to remain Baltimore's lead tight end but says rookie Matt Hibner is more likely than Josh Cuevas to eventually overtake him, and he anticipates the Ravens acquiring Jacoby Brissett to start at quarterback. He also suggests Brian Thomas Jr. may have played his final game for Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/15c4c161-616c-4ed8-be6d-ad326cc50853 (scored 100) - John Breech on Jacoby Brissett: Breech picks the Jaguars to blow out the quarterback-depleted Ravens on Thursday night, and in Week 9 takes the Bengals to outlast the Falcons in a Madrid shootout. He also expects Jacoby Brissett to be a Raven within 48 hours and to make his first Baltimore start in Week 11. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e93e4009-fa0b-4806-b8f4-bfd9ea948984 (scored 100) - Myles Simmons on Jacoby Brissett: Reporting on the Cardinals' quarterback depth chart decision, Simmons suggests Jacoby Brissett becomes an obvious candidate to be traded as the third quarterback ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4890ba00-08e8-450a-b7ca-5b4f84899800 (scored 100) - John Breech on Jacoby Brissett: In his Week 8 grades, Breech argued the Bills should be considered the AFC's team to beat if their defense keeps playing well, and suggested the Buccaneers now look like the best team in the NFC South. He also floated that the Colts could move on from coach Shane Steichen, that Arizona might shop Jacoby Brissett before the deadline, and that Raiders back Mike Washington will keep out-snapping Ashton Jeanty. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3c3972e5-6bd5-4521-a2ea-8f64ffa1d691 (scored 100) - Jason La Canfora on Jacoby Brissett: La Canfora reported that the Cardinals are tanking for 2027 and will probably trade quarterback Jacoby Brissett if they can, and that Josh Sweat wants out of Arizona with Dallas expected to pursue him aggressively in a crowded market. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/571cffa3-ef4f-4348-8b2f-34f8c1fe7f27 (scored 100) ## More trade and signing calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Parker Hurley on Jessie Bates: Hurley argues a Jessie Bates trade to San Francisco is unrealistic because Atlanta remains in the weak NFC South race and likely won't sell, and he expects 49ers safety Ji'Ayir Brown to depart in free agency after this season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7e8279a5-fad4-4c61-9646-0809bdcdaf40 (scored 0) - Doug Joubert on Kendre Miller: Joubert doubts Taysom Hill will return to the Saints for financial reasons and believes Hill has retired from the NFL.

Gardner-Johnson: Gurzi argues the Bills should cut ties with safety C.J.
